Passports, ID cards, party documents, trade union or military tickets, documents certifying property rights, documents confirming belonging to a class or religion, as well as those documents that have been excluded from civil circulation are not subject to legalization.
Going through the legalization procedure is not required if there is an apostille on the document.
